FC Dallas signs MF Luccin

Frisco, TX (Sports Network) - FC Dallas announced late Monday that the club
has signed midfielder Peter Luccin, pending receipt of his P-1 visa and
International Transfer Certificate.

Luccin, 33, began his career in the youth system of French club AS Cannes
before playing 118 matches in Ligue 1 between stints with Bordeaux, Marseille
and PSG. He ventured over to La Liga in 2001 where he featured in a total of
215 games with Celta Vigo, Atletico Madrid, Real Zaragoza and Racing
Santander.

"Peter came in at the end of the season to be seen by the FC Dallas coaching
staff," said FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman. "We were in the final two
weeks of training, so he was being measured against a group of players who
were very fit. He really impressed us.

"He can cover a lot of space in central midfield and he seldom loses the ball.
His resume is quite outstanding, having played quite a few years in the first
divisions in France and Spain. He is going to be a very good addition to our
team."
